Hi good people of IBC, A week ago a friend of mine sent me text message giving away some of his last trees, and without hesitation i sent my crew right away to pick up some trees even at night... for a very low cost, this is now my biggest literati material, got it for $30.

the base...

the trunk...

to give you the scale of this new "toy" its me standing at 5' 9" in ht...after a couple bottles of beer.

Great material you have there... It is also interesting to think what you might do with it... Keeping fingers crossed for now. Do share pics once you give it your styling touch...

And by the way, a very impressive band of people you have got having the dinner and free beer. And since you did not mention sharing the "MATADOR BRANDY" with them I presume you are keeping it all for yourself

This friend of yours is a collector? A merchant? A yamadori hunter?.... if I may ask this question.You had mentioned a similar case in the past if I am correct..., or I cannot remember right?Is this the same guy?

You are right Alexandra. it is the same Guy...needs more space for his fighting cocks/chicken.the tree above is not in its full health strength because of neglect...see some moss growing on the trunk? but it can easily recover with proper love and care.

hi jun , great tree, somebody mentioned carving but trees with deadwood of that quality dont need carving,only cleaning you cant beat nature.regards john ps if you want to meke a profit i,ll give you $35

Hi Jun,Lucky you! Having friends with sudden disinterest in mature Grand Daddy trees and MOOLAH!!! Show the other trees and let us know when you are likely to run short of space for the aviary planned. (I see A bird cage up there!) Regards,Mohan.

Hi guys. here is the other tree.The huge murraya P.with multiple trunks like a flame...

Note and disclaimer: the other trees in the background and foreground are not mine...photos were taken several months ago.when the time is right I'll reduce the height of this tree to just a couple of inches above 1 meter.
